Huge thanks to John O' Sullivan for the opportunity to chat all things 'coach development'.
The last time we met, was in another life, when the United Soccer Coaches Symposium was an inperson event when 400 coaches would shoehorn into a conference room, without masks, to listen to a panel event being chaired by John O' Sullivan!
In this meandering conversation we touched on various things including but not limited to:
The current state of coaching education
How does a coach learn to recognize what they don’t know?
Is there a way to do coaching education across other sports?
Where do you start with educating volunteer coaches?
What does a coach development pathway look like?
Why isn’t empathy and emotional intelligence taught in coaching courses?
Creating “needs based learning opportunities”
Defining three levels of coach development
Integrating self awareness in to coaching
Defining your ideal practice
The danger of bringing baggage from your playing career into your coaching career
The importance of having someone who can help us navigate our development
What should a coach do next?
